    1. @Rick Simpson Thank you for the update. Facts are an endangered species we have to protect. The Wrong are not going to do so… Ever!

  1. Who would take any vaccine from this administration. Not me and my family absolutely NOT keep Putin’s Vaccine at the White House

    1. charles wilee, there you guys go again! Giving credit for the vaccine to Trump even though he had no hand in it. That’s exactly what he wanted you fools!

    2. @bryanatwku I’m not taking crap. This seems more mad science than science. Go search BioNTech and take a look at what happened sept 2019.

    3. You are very confused. The dog is the Vaccine makers, and the tail is the administration. So, whose vaccine will you and your family accept? If “Putin” makes an effective vaccine ahead of the USA would you not take it? How about one made in Hungary or New Zealand or Britain?

    4. charles wilee, what happened to listening to medical experts? I thought this pandemic supposed to be Trump’s fault because he supposedly didn’t listen to the experts. The vaccine was created by the experts and will soon be approved by the experts.

      You guys will be stuck holding the bag if this soon-to-be FDA approved “Trump” vaccine is successful.

    1. @Roch Xavier Good, I do other things too. Like, I might be the biggest troll that has nicknamed Donnie a number of names. And, that takes hours and hours of trolling online. 😁😉😎😷

    2. Well looked the caravan drove up in Portland last week they copied straight from isis when they rolled up in iraq when the last American 🇺🇸 Soldiers left there. calling themselves white nationalist prayer or some militia group.

    3. Instead I’ve been hearing an awful lot about far-right terrorist caravans driving around and terrorizing peaceful protesters. I’m a lot more worried about right-wing terrorists than I am a group of desperate people looking for safety.

    4. Sperup AD just get concerned on the word pray. Used colloquially is good. But some people are very literal and think that is all they have to do. I know some personally. Hopefully that is changing 🙂

    1. @OT Mills Well then no worries all the people at my address will vote Trump & I will vote Trump person AWSOME there is no worry

    2. @William H I agree since they are the only ones crying about it but the tears will be pouring when they lose Nov 3rd

    3. @Gina Mazyck the anti christ is binden who loves to sniff blow way down below

  2. Best to be on the safe side and wait for the vaccine to be developed properly, not based on politics, but on science and medicine,
    under the Biden administration.

    1. Leonie Romanes, of course he will. Because odds are, this FDA approved vaccine will likely stem or end this pandemic. So of course Trump will promote it. But the reaction by the Democrats is just really dumb. Instead of promoting the vaccine themselves, they are essentially condemning it as a knee-jerk reaction to Trump. So now they are setting Trump up as the victor of the pandemic.

      The Democrats need a new strategist. Everything they do is reactionary to what Trump does, giving him full control. Trump promotes a life-saving vaccine, Democrats oppose it. Trump condemns violent riots, Democrats support them. Trump maneuvers out of war, the Democrats promote war…

      I swear if Trump said he loves puppies, the Democrats would push for a global puppy euthanization.

      Whoever is driving the Democrat ship needs to be fired for being a moron.

    2. @bryanatwku there won’t be a vaccine available before the election. 45 is just stringing his gullible base along.

    3. Leonie Romanes, that might be true but it might also not be true. As of today, Pfizer is on track to have an approved vaccine by October. But Trump never promised a vaccine before the election. He just said there might be an approved vaccine before a special date. He laid the trap and the dumb Democrats fell right into it and basically condemned a life-saving vaccine before it is even released! That is obviously what Trump wanted them to do. And they did it because the captain of the Democrat ship is a moron.

  3. That’s not what the dark power said. He said ” we will have a vaccine on nov. 1st.” Wanna guess who’s lying?

  4. Let DJT, his family, cabinet, DeJoy, Vos, Mitch and all his enablers be the first to take the vaccine trial shots in October. Wishing them luck!!!!

    1. Real American why not. Whatever he took it worked didn’t it ? He’s the only one that didn’t get it. As many around him did. So what ever it was it worked. But facts don’t matter do they ?

    2. Yup! Once they’ve got the vaccine they need to visits the hospital with covid19 to test the effectiveness of the vaccine. For the efficacy of the vaccine all the people at the White House should not be issued the PPE while visiting the hospitals.

  5. Of course there is a relationship between the vaccine and the side effect. These people didn’t have meningitis before they were vaccinated.

    1. Chloe Key … well, that’s good. You go ahead and take a vaccine … let other people make their own decision. Your views do not affect my views on vaccines.

    2. How could you possibly know that? Do you think the vaccine is the only way someone gets meningitis? Do you believe that because someone gets vaccinated than any medical issue they encounter must be related to the vaccine? Typical anti-vaxxer logic.
      It might be related to it and it might not. I don’t know and neither do you.Your channel has no content so you must be a drone. This is exactly the same “logic” you employed to type your comment.

    3. They might have had undiagnosed early MS, Lyme Disease, Lupus, or something else. Lets wait and see what they find out. I like Gottlieb. He seems like a straight shooter.

  6. I can only trust doctors and experts, but definitely don’t trust the oil salesmen that recommends injecting Clorox.

    1. @Tony Smith WRONG! Biden could be completely bad, but he still can’t be worse than Trump, who is not only bad, but has the brains of a kindergartner on top of being bad, petty, spiteful, retaliatory, undisciplined, homophobic, warmongering, sexist and racist. The “man” is also a draft dodger.

  7. Why make this political this is a public health issue, any decision should be based on the best scientific, medical and statistical advice

    1. @Octos Alias Don’t worry, a vaccine won’t be available to most of us until the Spring of 2021 anyway.

      Folks need to keep wearing their masks and socially distance, that’s proven to reduce transmission significantly. By all means open up but use common sense. People are not dumb, a lot of sickness & death can be avoided if they just follow the scientific guidance.

    2. @David Hale First, it’s the Defense Production Act (DPA), not the “War Powers Act”.

      Secondly it’s a bit rich blaming the party which is not in charge of the executive branch for the incompetence of Trump’s administration, don’t you think?

      Trump totally called Covid a hoax and downplayed its seriousness as many Americans died on his watch. He refused to activate the DPA for the production of respirators and ventilators but did for the processing of meat, endangering workers in meat processing plants and outbreaks in Covid that could have been avoided. He forced cities and states to have to compete against each other and FEMA for Personsl Protective Equipment (PPE) increasing the cost of PPE at tax payers expense needlessly. When he finally did provide PPE from the national stockpile, many of the units were useless because they had aged out. Trumps administration had control of the stockpile since January 2017, the PPE (respirators) are good for 5 years, that means that Trumps personnel likely had not done any turnover for years. None of the PPE should have expired, they are supposed to be ordered and the old inventory rotated out to prevent that. You can’t blame the party not in charge for that, its all on Trumps administration.

      He’s discouraged wearing masks and has not required either masks or social distancing at his rallies and the RNC. He downplays the needless loss of life and us trying to make it seem as if Covid is behind us AND ITS NOT.

      Last but not least, its the Federal Government’s duty to support the states, which under Trumps administration, it has not. If the Federal government won’t support the states then why do we even have it? What’s the point of paying Federal income taxes if we are going to get the finger from the administration? We pay into the system so that in time of need we can get help. At least if Biden is president I can have faith that he’ll be competent. Based on Trumps abysmal failures I have no confidence whatsoever that he can get the job done.

    3. God’s will!!! Lmao. Yeah, God controls all. Idiots. Science isn’t tax free population control or cults as they are.

    1. @wily wascal Yes, exactly right. They are totally Anti-Science….until they aren’t totally Anti-Science and think that will help Trump get re-elected. Dirty hypocrites.
      There is no way I or any of my people are going to take that Trump “re-election” vaccine until we know for a fact it’s been tested.

    2. @88Gibson LesPaul – Toxic Trump crime syndicate is a “Family” affair, with Ivanka the cherry, and The Don on top!

    3. @88Gibson LesPaul – We can ‘soundly’ attest to that! Just check out ‘HyGOPricy’ on our YouTube channel!

    4. @wily wascal That sounds like it was taken directly from a William S. Burroughs book. I like it enough to perhaps pen a short story myself along the vision you’ve conjured up in my mind. Now should it be a ‘Trumpian’, or ‘Trumpesque’ short, or novella?

    5. @Graham Clarke – Trumpette comic book, definitely!
      This Toxic Trump administration is like living the nightmare of an alternative bad ending to Stephen King’s _’The Dead Zone!’_
      Wrote this comment above some time ago and have posted many times, unknowing that King had discussed precisely this eerie connection in an interview about a year ago, until after someone replied with the following link to that very interesting, relevant interview just yesterday:
      https://youtu.be/UXfklsKGwBU

  8. Unlikely by the end of the year but what about October, because that’s when his Royal Orangeness will say we’ve got one.

    1. @Hildebeast Clinton Yes because a outsider nominated him. All over a business deal. He’s good with business as long as it ain’t his money.

    1. I would just keep listening to the doctors that have been cautious throughout this virus. Not people attached to the trump admin.

    2. Shirley Lavis my dr says it usually takes 3 large trials. The 3rd being the general population. I will have to wait until my dr says it is safe

    3. @22 Veterans A Day But, it takes anywhere from 4 to 15 years to do a proper study on medicine to be approved for use. It has been less than 6 months. This vaccine has not gone through proper rigor, which is required for a research trial. I don’t care who is in office, if 4 years, at the least, this vaccine haven’t gone through the proper protocol, I am NOT taking it.

    4. Smart woman. I was a child when they came out with the polio vaccine. The first vaccine was rushed. My father refused to allow us to get vaccinated. I am thankful he didn’t as many children died, developed polio, or had serious side-effects from it. They later came out with a second vaccine that was safer. My father still did not trust it but it was required by law or we couldn’t go to school.
      The first vaccine was implemented without adequate testing and were actually completing the trials on children to determine if it was safe. Today’s vaccine has not been properly tested either and its efficacy will be assessed AFTER they inject people. You will be the guinea pigs, get paid for it, and you will be expected to be grateful because you got the vaccine free. All this so one man can look good and be re-elected.

  9. To this day , there is still no vaccine for either of the other malignant Coronavirus strains….think about that. Anybody who is stupid enough to inject a vaccine that is clearly being rushed through for political reasons, deserves what they get. Think hard about this before u make any life altering moves. Trump has rushed us to reopen, and look at the situation we’re in now. He also rushed us back into schools, and that’s not going well either. And, we knew, WE KNEW that it was too early, yet we listened to a venal nightmare ho has lied to us way more often than he’s told the truth. Please, use caution everybody.

    1. It usually takes 7-10 years (or more) for a vaccine to be approved. Just look at vaccines like the early measles vaccine, the polio vaccine, early smallpox vaccines, and thalidomide was not a vaccine but an injected medicine none the less. Some of the effects are downright scary. My child had serious issues resulting from the MMR vaccine and is not allergic to eggs, my good friends child suffered days of seizures and is permanently changed resulting from the pertussis vaccine. All this to say, ” stay safe and well, everyone.”

    2. @John Christopher Nothing that she said shows she’s anti-vax – just mindful of the fact that they aren’t a 100% positive thing. So take that over reacting, hand wringing and situational outrage somewhere else. You’ve contended with monsters for so long that you’ve become one. Acting like a tRump supporter doesn’t help the cause.

    3. @RandomDroppings I wouldn’t take the Trump vaccine but it has more to do with Trump than Vaccines.

      She was bringing anti-vaxx talking points and I’ve only known Trump supports to be stupid to be anti-science or anti-vaxx… I don’t think that Trump or the right supporters should be allowed on the internet because of science denying, racism, and other issues of hate.

    1. @Yolanda Denny it would be the right thing to do. But they will probably force it on doctors, nurses, minorities and vets first.

    2. @Leonie Romanes You are right. When I was a child they ran the experimental polio vaccine on us–We were a minority area school. They will probably dole it out at the VA and on the Indian Reservations to gather the data on its safety.. Like I said before, my dad refused to have us inoculated. with the first polio vaccine. Those that did had severe reactions including contracting polio and some died. They recalled it when they found how dangerous it was. The second vaccine was released a year later; it was much safer.,

  10. All Trump cares is about is a Vaccine before the Election,he dont care if it works or not,only that he can use it to get elected.

    1. Sick demo
      Unborn baby killers
      Really and y’all talk about our president
      And lay low Joe is your answer
      Come on man
      China are good people
      Yep send another virus
      Get your head screwed on straight
      We the people need Trump

    2. Shawn Corbin tyrannical? Do you have any idea how completely stupid that sounds? It’s not like being told you have to wear your big girls panties outside of your starched, pressed jeans, is it? You wear a seatbelt, in most states you wear a crash helmet, on a building site you wear a hard hat. Why are they about safety and wearing a mask in a pandemic tyranny?

    3. Larry Miller Fox are such liars they can’t even call what they do News in Canada, they are an entertainment network. Canada has much stricter laws on labelling a product, than the US.

    4. He only care for Green Bills T o PUT in The Bank. He doesn’t care from American People. How many DIE all ready . DEFINITELY WE ARE IN THE WRONG HANDS FOR THE LAST FOR YEARS WE NEED ARE COUNTRY BACK

  11. Kayleigh McEnany should be the first to get the Warp Speed Vaccine, in front of the Press..! SHOW US HOW GREAT IT IS, KAYLEIGH..!
